I have py2.7 as my original Anaconda install, and have installed py3.4 in an environment named py3.
I cannot seem to be able to install blpapi, the Bloomberg API library, in the py3 environment.
Once I activate py3, conda install blpapi cannot find the package, whereas pip install blpapi tells me that:
Requirement already satisfied: blpapi in C:\users\pythonic\programs\anaconda\lib\site-packages
Because it finds the package installed for python 2.7
If I try to install via the executable from here it tells me that it cannot find python 3.4 in the registry.
How do I install this package?
Edit
Apparently the DSM channel does not have the py3.5 version anymore but this channel does
One solution would be creating a Python 3.5 environment:
conda create -n py35 python=3.5
activating it:
activate py35
and installing blpapi form the channel dsm:
conda install -c dsm blpapi
The channel dsm is an Anaconda channel. It provides these files:
win-64/blpapi-3.9.0-py35_0.tar.bz2
win-64/blpapi-3.5.5-py27_0.tar.bz2
linux-64/blpapi-3.5.5-py27_0.tar.bz2
This means blpapi is available for Windows for Python 2.7 and 3.5 but not for 3.4.
To find a package, enter the package name in the Anaconda search window (top of page).
